Geography is a study of people and their environments. It's a social science that looks at people's attitudes and values; why and how decisions are made in society. It's also a physical science - thinking about processes that shape our world and how the physical background creates advantages for, and constraints on, how people live. It is multi-skilled (handling and analysing data, evaluating evidence, drawing conclusions, writing reports) and is topical. It covers what is in the news and looks at them critically, applying theory, science and critical thinking to everyday life. Because of its breadth, Geography can be taken at university either as a BSc or a BA. It is often available as a joint honours degree, combining with subjects such as development, economics, and environmental and sports sciences.
At least a Grade 6 at GCSE level Geography. If students have not studies at GCSE they may still apply for this course but will need to talk to the department. - A minimum of 38 points across best six GCSEs. A minimum of Grade 5 in English Language and Mathematics is needed.
Written assignments, project work and final year examinations.
